Drug and Alcohol Residential Rehab Program at Brea Hills Recovery

Our Residential Program

Healing for Those Who Serve

At Brea Hills Recovery, our mission is simple: to give back to the people who give everything. Our residential rehab program is designed specifically for First Responders — the firefighters, police officers, paramedics, EMTs, dispatchers, and frontline professionals who dedicate their lives to protecting and saving others.

We understand that those who serve often carry the heaviest burdens. The weight of trauma, high-pressure work, and constant exposure to crisis can lead even the strongest among us to seek ways to cope — sometimes through substances that eventually take a toll. Our residential treatment program offers a place to pause, heal, and rebuild — in a safe, private, and restorative environment where every detail has been created with your comfort, health, and dignity in mind.

It’s not just recovery — it’s renewal.

Levels of Care

Why Choose Residential Treatment?

Residential treatment provides the structure, support, and immersive care necessary for lasting recovery. Unlike outpatient programs, residential rehab removes the distractions and stressors of daily life, allowing clients to fully focus on healing. At Brea Hills Recovery, our program blends clinical excellence with holistic wellness — treating not only the addiction but also the underlying trauma and emotional wounds that often drive it.

You’ll live on-site in our luxurious, gated facility in Brea Hills, surrounded by the peaceful beauty of Orange County, just a short distance from San Bernardino. With 24/7 care, a small, private setting, and personalized treatment plans, our residential program gives First Responders the safety and space they need to rediscover balance and strength.

What We Offer

Trauma-Focused Care for First Responders

We know that traditional rehab approaches often miss the mark for First Responders. Your experiences — the calls you’ve taken, the losses you’ve witnessed, the split-second decisions that change lives — are unlike anything most people can understand.

At Brea Hills Recovery, we’ve built our program around that understanding. Our therapists and clinicians specialize in trauma-informed care, addressing the symptoms and root causes of PTSD, anxiety, depression, and burnout that frequently accompany substance use. We use evidence-based therapies, including:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help reframe thoughts and behaviors.
  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma processing.
  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for emotional regulation.
  • Group and individual therapy that fosters trust and understanding among peers.
  • Family therapy to rebuild communication and support networks.


Every session, every interaction, and every element of your stay is built on respect, compassion, and the belief that healing is possible — even after years of carrying invisible scars.

Our Program

Personalized, Comprehensive Treatment

Each client’s journey is unique, and so is their treatment plan. Our clinical team conducts a thorough assessment upon admission to identify your specific needs — physical, emotional, and psychological. This integrated approach ensures that recovery isn’t just about getting sober — it’s about building a healthier, more sustainable life.

Your customized plan may include:

Medical and psychiatric support for co-occurring disorders

Trauma therapy and relapse prevention planning

Fitness and wellness programming to rebuild physical health

Nutritional counseling and meal planning for energy and restoration

Peer and fellowship groups designed exclusively for First Responders

Our Residential Program

A Luxury Setting Designed for Comfort and Privacy

Recovery shouldn’t feel clinical or sterile- it should feel safe, peaceful, and restorative. Our private, gated residential facility offers a luxury environment that feels more like a retreat than a rehab center. Our chefs and nutritionists craft balanced meals that nourish both body and mind- because we believe that recovery begins with restoring strength from the inside out. This is care without compromise- luxury with purpose. Clients at Brea Hills Recovery enjoy:

Private bedrooms for rest, reflection, and personal space (6 total beds, not gender-specific).

Health-conscious gourmet meals, including options like steak and lobster, prepared by our culinary team.

Three meals a day plus snacks, with a juice and coffee bar always available.

A hot tub, open outdoor areas, and a tranquil setting for relaxation and healing.

Feel Supported Through Recovery

Building Community, and Connection

Addiction can be isolating, but recovery is built on connection. One of the most powerful aspects of our program is the brotherhood and fellowship that naturally form among our residents.

Here, you’ll find others who understand what it means to wear the badge, respond to the call, and carry the weight of others’ pain. Group therapy sessions and shared experiences foster genuine bonds that last long after treatment ends.

We believe that community heals. When you surround yourself with people who “get it,” recovery becomes not only possible — it becomes meaningful.

Adventure in Recovery

Healing Through Experience: Recreational and Therapeutic Outings

At Brea Hills Recovery, we understand that healing happens in many ways — not just in therapy sessions. That’s why our residential rehab program includes regular therapeutic outings and experiential activities designed to restore joy, confidence, and connection. Activities include:

  • Fishing trips that promote relaxation and reflection.
  • Snowboarding and hiking adventures in nearby mountains.
  • Beach days for peace, fun, and fresh air.
  • Martial arts training for discipline, movement, and empowerment.


These experiences help clients reconnect with their passions, rediscover purpose, and rebuild confidence outside of the clinical setting. Each outing is carefully planned to support physical wellness, emotional growth, and genuine enjoyment.

Secure + Discreet

Safe, Confidential, and Professional

Privacy and safety are core to everything we do. Our secure, gated facility offers a discreet environment where First Responders can focus solely on recovery, without worrying about exposure or judgment. We know that confidentiality is vital — both personally and professionally. Our staff handles all admissions and records with the utmost care and discretion. Additionally, we help clients navigate the practical aspects of treatment, including FMLA paperwork and coordination with employers when needed.

We’re here to make the process as easy and stress-free as possible — so you can focus entirely on healing.

Feel Supported Through Recovery

In-Network and Accessible

At Brea Hills Recovery, we believe that exceptional care should be accessible to those who need it most. We are actively becoming in-network with Anthem and Kaiser, and we work closely with other major insurance providers to ensure that First Responders can receive care without unnecessary financial strain. Our admissions team is always available to verify benefits, discuss coverage, and help make the path to treatment clear and achievable.
